Academic success services

We want all candidates to be successful in their CA Program studies and encourage candidates to make use of the study success resources, supports and strategies summarised below. These are available to you through your CA Program studies and are complimentary except where indicated.

Resources

• CA Program orientation – invitations emailed to all new candidates before their first subject.
• Academic integrity training.
• Study planners, study guides and referencing resources.
• Assumed knowledge quizzes and learning resources designed to recap prior learning.
• Subject study groups.
• An online exam preparation course. 
• CA Program’s policies, procedures and guidelines which explain the related principles and processes that candidates and CA ANZ are required to follow. 
• Term and subject timetables, course fee schedule, how to enrol and other resources to help you manage your studies.

Services

• CA Study Masterclass (CASM) (additional fees apply). CASM is designed to support aspiring CAs to succeed and enables candidates to prepare and approach their assignments and exams with confidence. 
• CA Foundations (additional fees apply) for candidates who need to bridge their existing studies to access the CA Program, and those wanting to refresh/update their assumed knowledge.
• Academic support for those finding it hard to progress with their studies (see below)

Support for candidates finding it hard to progress with their studies 

CA Program candidates who are identified by CA ANZ  as ‘at risk’ of not making satisfactory course progress as outlined in the CA Program’s Candidate Course Progression and Support Policy, may be offered academic support as well as wellbeing and emotional support in various forms. 

This support is targeted to each candidate’s individual needs and may include self-paced learning activities, one-to-one support and wellbeing support. This support seeks to enable candidates to:

• build effective study skills and develop communication, problem-solving and critical thinking skills, 
• understand how to identify and address knowledge gaps and make the most of their interactive subject learning resources and the CA Program’s study tools, tips and other resources,
• understand how to prepare for assessments or end of term exams; and/or
• review and revisit difficult topics in their subject and practice questions and answers to prepare for assessments
